TRANSNISTRIA TAKES REVENGE ON MOLDOVA

Tiraspol. Leader of the self-styled Transnistrian republic, Igor Smirnov, signed a decree "On Response Measures with Respect to Moldova in the External Economic Field".

The official Tiraspol has thus reacted to the introduction by Moldova of a 20% VAT, customs tax and customs procedure fees on cargoes coming from Transnistria.

According to the decree, goods imported from Moldova shall be levied with a special tax in the amount of 20% of their cost. Such goods shall be treated as ones imported from a foreign country. But even after all these payments are made, cargoes from Moldova shall not be allowed to the Transnistrian market without marking by local certification organs.
